Methods and Systems for Automatic Image Stitching Failure Recovery

An exemplary image stitching recovery system detects a failed attempt by an image stitching system to generate a first panoramic image in a target location image set that includes a plurality of panoramic images each depicting a target location from a different respective locus point. The image stitching recovery system identifies a particular locus point at which a second panoramic image within the target location image set has been successfully generated, and identifies, based on a second set of control points that were used by the image stitching system to successfully generate the second panoramic image at the particular locus point, a first set of control points based upon which the first panoramic image is to be successfully generated. Subsequently, the image stitching recovery system directs the image stitching system to generate, based on the first set of control points, the first panoramic image in the target location image set.
